Importing my fic journal from LJ?

[shirasade]

Is there any way of mirroring _readingroom, my fic journal on LJ, to a comm here? The DW importer currently doesn't support the import of communities, and I do get that most comms have content by several people, but my fic is one of the main things I want to use DW for.

Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this, a script or something (preferably for Mac, not Windows - although if it's only for Windows I'm sure I could find a friend to help me out) that I could use? Or will the DW importer at some point support communities so I could just wait until that time (because I really don't want to lose all my lovely comments)?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Edit: I remembered ljmigrate, which works with comms as well. Haven't been able to test it with DW yet, but it worked with LJ and JournalFen. The one drawback is that it only archives comments, doesn't migrate them.

Importing one-person communities

[cesy]

I'm pretty sure that denise has already acknowledged that communities (on LJ) where only one person (the maintainer/owner) ever posts are a special case, and there is a vague intention to add importing these to a personal journal on DW as a feature in the future, but it may take a while.

However, your phrasing implies that you're talking about the other way around, which I don't know anything about, though I guess that if you mentioned it on dw_suggestions they'd probably agree that it sounds reasonable.

Would a client be able to handle this?

Thank you!

There's ljmigrate that allows archiving and migration of one's own community posts, but currently I'm getting an error for DW - also, while it archives comments, it doesn't migrate them.

I need this as well

Then again, I also need a way to import my LJ communities (only post-able to by my perm LJ account) into my perm LJ account but that is another matter entirely!

I haven't been able to get it to work with DW yet (but that might be because of maintenance or whatever), but ljmigrate might be a way. Maybe even for moving posts from LJ to LJ. (Although sadly it doesn't import comments, it only archives them.)
